Rupatrupa is an indie music project with a distinctive sound that blends elements from a myriad of genres such as reggae, folk, and Latin rhythms. Founded by Roberto Ruido in 2007, the project began as a one-man band in the streets of Spain, where Ruido's passion for music and storytelling converged in his lively performances. The name 'Rupatrupa' mirrors the eclectic and somewhat unorthodox nature of the music, which refuses to be pigeonholed into a single category.

Throughout the years, Rupatrupa has evolved, involving various musicians that contribute to the rich and organic sound characteristic of their records and live performances. Their music spans multiple themes ranging from introspection to social commentary, often wrapped in poetic lyricism. With the 10 releases listed, including "La Utopía en que Vivimos" and "OBEDECE," Rupatrupa has established a strong identity within the independent music scene. They are particularly known for their dynamic live recordings, such as "Directo en Sdma" and "Directo en el Cuartito de la Lavadora," which capture the raw energy and spirit of their music, inviting listeners to experience the intimacy and vigor of their artistry.
